UDA

Alta took time from her "Infection Control" lecture to join the other girls on the floor.












Lunch at Benihana was delicious. (Try the Las Vegas roll!!!)
Hmmm....?

The Newly-Weds

The sky was blue and clear. Aren't we cute?

The Jones family.

If we're good for anything, it's loading the kids up with sugar just before bed.

This was my favorite part.

Hmmm... don't mind the wristwatch...

Awww, don't you all look so nice! Thanks for comin'.

You can tell Aaron is having a good time.

Smile buddy!

Candi, I think that was a courtesy laugh... but thanks!

"...and you could smell his breath SO BAD!"

Do you guys all remember when I got married? It seems like months and months ago, but...from lots of harrassment and prodding from you guys, I finally got online. Thanks to all who came to my reception. It was totally worth it just to see you all there.


Oh, and this blog is the best thing to hit SLCCDH since Christmas break!

An Ingenious Idea....

While reading Katie's most recently posted blog, I came across a picture she had posted entitled "The picture Mike took of me," or something to that nature. When looking at the picture closer, I realized it wasn't Katie's mouth (even though I had to look very close since that mouth did look a lot like Katie's) but a contestant from the Grill Contest on 97.1 ZHT.

Being the curious Dental Hygiene student that I am, I decided to check out the other "grills" (if you will) to see which "gorgeous" mouth won the $30,000 prize from South Mountain Dental.

Now, let me just say one thing before I go on...... I have seen a LOT of nasty stuff in people's mouths. I have traveled to Europe & Mexico (and Magna) many times where health care is suppose to be worse and less accessible than in America. But this is something you almost can't prepare for. I mean, needless to say.......I was APPALLED at these mouths. May I just share with you my favorite mouth.....

OK would you not agree that this person needs to come to our $5 clinic for some serious dental HELP? Obviously this sad sad person can NOT afford any type of oral hygiene care products, including a manual toothbrush for $1 at the Dollar Tree. But don't worry, I'm sure they know every drug dealer in the Salt Lake Valley and surrounding areas. I mean, look at this guy..... Holy #&*@.....

I encourage everyone to take a look at the wonderful pictures posted on 97.1 ZHT under New Year New Grill, I can guarantee you will all lose your appetites...

Here is where my ingenious idea comes into play.

What if we emailed the Morning Zoo to have them announce on the air, and possibly make a posting on their website, to have people come to our $5 clinic, it could be like FREE advertising. What do you think about that idea? I do have one question, do we give them the REAL number to the school, or our "secret" number. Personally I would want our number, but if it is going on the air should it be the schools number?

Please send me your thought on the matter, OH, and the grills too....

I'm So Glad That's Over!

We are all to be commended for a job well done on our first week of seeing patients. It was nerve wrecking and difficult, but we pulled through with flying colors.

My biggest challenge was knowing when to wait for an instructors approval before moving on to my next item of business, and when to charge ahead on my own. It seemed that if I did what I thought I should, I got penalized for it. If I waited for an instructor to approve my work before moving on, I was waisting time. Damned if I do, damned if I don't. Oh, well.

Being our first experience with patients in a clinical setting, confusion was to be expected. I truly believe that despite everyones concerns, we all did a fantastic job.

Now that we have done it once, each time there after will be easier and easier. This was only our dress rehearsal for bigger, better things.

Way to go crew.
